Synopsis

"Crisis Management Strategy" offers an introduction to the theory and practice of crisis management in modern enterprises. Drawing on the experience of major multinationals world-wide, Simon Booth explores the process of crisis development, management and resolution in a wide range of businesses. Simplistic theories of "functional systems" and "internal weaknesses" are rejected, along with many of the conventional approaches that dominate the way most enterprises tackle crisis. Instead the author offers a new strategic approach based on a thorough understanding of the organization and its environment. The perceptions and attitudes of chief executives in real situations of crisis are weighed alongside the latest theories of crisis planning, to provide students and managers with clearer insight into the experience of crisis, risk and uncertainty in corporate management. All those concerned with strategic management should find an informed approach to the many different aspects of crisis management: planning for change; diagnosing crisis; external and internal crises; and finally, control systems and recovery strategies.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Crisis Management Strategy, first published in 1993, is an excellent introduction to the theory and practice of crisis management in modern enterprises. Simon Booth examines the conventional approaches followed by many firms in the face of change and crisis. He warns of the dangers of theories which oversimplify the causes of crisis and their possible solutions, and which overlook the individual nature of each firm and its environment. Instead, a dynamic new vision of crisis management is offered, which takes into account different kinds of crisis demanding diverse solutions. The key role of leadership is also evaluated in relation to both internally and externally generated crises.

Drawing on case studies of leading firms facing crisis solutions in a variety of environments, this truly international volume will provide valuable insight into the experience of crisis, risk and uncertainty. This title will be of interest to students of business.
